Apple international sales are about 52% - so US (or US + Canada) would be about 48% *********** Note that I don't follow Apple closely - that's a full time job - there are many people that do watch Apple. I just thought shorting Apple was dangerous. ^^^^^^^^^^ Note the huge increases in Asia sales, including 100 % in Hong Kong .... zdnetasia.com Lots of caveats here, as many Europeans are known to buy Apple products in the US for a lower price or better availability. Some number of iPhones have gone all over the world, for example, and then put on local networks. The other products - Macs, iPods, iPads - travel even better. Also, I expect that many iTunes sales are actually running through proxies to non-US locations. How much ? I have no idea. many people have US addresses and US credit cards to so they can buy US tech products with less hassle.
